Liza Fernandez

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 1996, and specialize in treating OCD. I've received specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat whatever subtype or subtypes you're experiencing. I'll use almost 25 years of experience to guide you so that you can learn how to manage OCD on your own.

Ursula Wright

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I've had OCD since age 20. ERP therapy changed the way I process and deal with intrusive thoughts and fears. I'm proof you can live a productive life with minimal anxiety. Just schedule your first session. Just one. Your healing is our goal. This is your own story to create at your own pace. I'm here to guide and support you daily, provide encouragement, and watch you thrive. I also have experience helping people with depression and anxiety disorders, ADHD, grief, and relationship issues.

Ruthie Brooks

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I've seen a loved one struggle with OCD. He found treatment with a therapist who specializes in ERP, and it really changed his life. As an OCD therapist, I take a holistic approach: You are not your OCD. Your OCD is one part of your mental health. I’ll help you incorporate self-compassion and let go of any shame, judgment, and guilt. This is a nonjudgmental space; you can be transparent with me. In addition to OCD, I focus on treating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and stress management.

Kenneth Hosier

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I'm an empathetic therapist. You’ll always have my support to get through to the other side, and we’ll keep working, no matter what. I have more than 20 years of experience as a professional counselor, and I believe my entire career has led me to specialize in OCD. I love working with NOCD members because I get to see real change in everyone I work with. When NOCD members do good exposure exercises, I've seen change quickly. I work with adults and adolescents; my additional specializations include hoarding and tic disorders.

Robyn Pavlick

Licensed Therapist, LPC

Being a therapist isn't just a career choice for me; it's a calling rooted in compassion, empathy, and a belief every individual can make positive changes. In sessions, I use a person-centered approach which helps me go at each member's pace. I won't push you — I'll listen to you and approach our progress as a collaboration. This is a safe place where you can feel secure. In addition to OCD, I have experience working with people who have struggled with addiction, sexual assault, and severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia.

Lindsay Prizer

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

I’ve been working as a licensed therapist for over 10 years, and with training from top clinicians at NOCD, I now specialize in treating OCD. I’ve been working mostly in academic and medical settings in addition to holding a private practice, helping young and older adults overcome their anxiety and mood disorders. During our sessions, I’ll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to teach you how to manage your OCD on your own with confidence.

Vic Chaperon

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I have over 20 years of experience practicing psychotherapy, running my private practice for over 15 years specializing in OCD. I’ve also gained experience working in hospitals and clinics where I treated anxiety, depression, relationship & family dynamics, and more. The most effective approach to treat OCD is known as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is backed by research and is incredibly effective in showing you how to manage your OCD with confidence.

Melanie Dideriksen

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been a licensed therapist for almost 9 years, treating people for OCD as well as other mental health challenges. Having spent time with top clinicians at NOCD, I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to those battling any subtype of OCD. ERP is the gold standard of OCD treatment and is not only backed by evidence but gives you a realistic chance to see progress within a short period of time. I’ve dealt with OCD myself, so I know what it’s like to break away and recover from OCD obsessions and compulsions.

Michelle Meadows

Licensed Therapist, LPC

Treating OCD and anxiety is personal to me. I've struggled with anxiety throughout my life, and I have loved ones with OCD and anxiety disorders. I am a direct but empathetic therapist. My own experience has helped me understand the need for self-compassion. This is a no-judgment zone. We are collaborating on this journey together. I want to be here to help you take each step in your treatment. OCD therapy is as effective as the effort you put into it. But you can see progress in just a few sessions.

Toni Bryan

Licensed Therapist, LPC

You're here because you're tired of the challenges that have made life more difficult. I'll help you on this journey. I seek to provide an open space for those who may not have one. When we work together, your vulnerability is genuinely seen as a strength. I work to create an environment where your autonomy is intact, and you are cared for and respected. OCD therapy will be challenging, but it is doable and worthwhile! My professional experience includes working with amazing teens and adults who have lived with PTSD after trauma.

Hannah Quackenbush

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My approach to treating OCD is empathetic and challenging. Remaining in the bubble you've created to appease OCD symptoms won't result in changes. We can work together to tackle obstacles. I come from a place of compassion, and I strive to be trauma-informed in all my therapeutic endeavors. Together, we will create a roadmap for recovery, so we'll both know what's next. My goal is to provide you with the tools you need to conquer your fears.

Nathlie Plummer

Licensed Therapist, LPC

You're about to start a journey that will be life-changing. Kudos to you! I encourage you to think about your life vision. What are your goals for your mental, emotional, and physical health; school or employment; finances; relationships; and hobbies? I take a collaborative approach to OCD therapy, which allows for your input on areas of focus. This is a safe space. Our time together will be free of judgment. My focus is supporting you. I also have experience treating anxiety, anger management, and depression.

Candace Gillespie

Licensed Therapist, ED

Someone close to me had OCD. It was very hard for him. I want to help others overcome their obsessions and compulsions and regain normalcy. In therapy, you can disclose your obsessions and compulsions, we'll put them in a hierarchy, then we'll work on them with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also have experience treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. No matter what challenges you're facing, you'll find I'm empathic and caring, and I provide unconditional positive regard.

Juliana Carter

Licensed Therapist, MED

I have lived experience with OCD, which makes me an empathetic therapist. In sessions, I have a friendly and calm presence. I like to use an appropriate amount of humor so the process is more enjoyable. NOCD Therapy is a collaborative approach. We go at a pace that is comfortable yet challenging for you. You'll be glad you made the decision. I also focus on anxiety, stress management, depression, ADHD, LGBTQ+ issues, and relationship issues.

Toli Van Buskirk

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, and validation. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. I'll meet you where you are, and we'll take things at your pace. Acknowledging your OCD and committing to ERP is hard work. I'll invite you to sit with anxiety and challenge yourself to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I'll gently encourage you and remind you about your courage. My other areas of professional focus include depression and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perinatal mental health, grief, loss, and relationship issues.

Pamela Morris

Licensed Therapist, MS

I take a behavioral approach to treating OCD. I love to see people gain insight into themselves, and why they think and behave the way they do. NOCD specializes in OCD treatment and is one of the premier agencies to treat this condition. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been shown to be particularly effective for those suffering with OCD. In addition to treating OCD, I specialize in depression, anxiety, marital issues, stress, family relational issues, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Mary Beard-Curry

Licensed Therapist, MS

You came to the right place. This is a big, courageous step you've taken, and we take it seriously. I take a holistic approach to treating OCD. I look at individuals as real people with real problems who need a real, relatable person as a therapist. I primarily utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and psychoeducation while addressing co-occurring issues. The mind can be trained for freedom, and everyone deserves that. In addition to treating OCD, I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, self-esteem, family violence, anger management, and stress management.

Michael Britt

Licensed Therapist, MS

I have lived experience with anxiety and depression, which made me want to help others face their fears. My approach to OCD involves helping you understand you have power in your treatment. In my sessions, there is no judgment. I believe every emotion is important, no matter how small it may seem. Together, we are on a journey to address what's happening in your life. In addition to OCD, my professional areas of focus include trauma, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

Glenn Gray

Licensed Therapist, MS

I've seen OCD's impact firsthand in my family. I want to help others find hope and healing. My approach to treating OCD is supportive, non-judgmental, and hopeful. I'm here to create a space for you to feel seen and heard without shame. I believe wholeheartedly that anyone can reach a place where OCD, although still present, doesn't impact their life any longer. You are capable of far more than you may know. You're incredibly strong to have come this far. I also specialize in spiritual concerns, specifically institutionalized/religious trauma.
